Mostly referring to ie. public access parks that are closed to cars, streets that have been closed to traffic, temporary bike lanes. Drivers feel as though these are punishments foisted upon them simply because they exist and do not serve them as motorists.

These are my observations as a pedestrian, cyclist, and motorist.

I have never seen motorist expressing these feelings. On the other hand, cyclists complain about lack of bike lanes all the time (e.g. on this very site), they become livid when the existing bike lane is removed. They are actually quite upset when the existing lane is merely obstructed by, say, a parked car. Projection, as I suspected.
